3: Travis Marsh

Travis Marsh graduated salutatorian from University of Florida in Engineering. He pursued a successful engineering and sales management career before taking a turn toward the more complex world of what motivates us and what makes us happy.

He now splits his time between facilitating Interpersonal Communications at Stanford Graduate School of Business, running a coaching company focused on Startup and Entrepreneurs, and building a software company that is trying to bring coaching to more people.
